If I could give 10 stars I would

If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!

Really made a difference

Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.

Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.

Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.

An incredibly helpful service

An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!

Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.

Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.

IT WORKS!! Not a scam!

I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

Washington ESD unemployment how much weekly benefit amount calculation?

I'm trying to figure out how much my weekly unemployment benefit will be from Washington ESD. I was making $52,000 annually at my previous job before getting laid off last month. I've heard it's based on your highest quarters but I'm confused about the exact calculation. Does anyone know how Washington ESD determines your weekly benefit amount? I need to budget for rent and bills while I'm job searching.

The benefit amount also depends on whether you quit, were fired, or laid off. If you quit without good cause or were fired for misconduct, you might get reduced benefits or none at all.

I was laid off due to company downsizing so that shouldn't be an issue for me.

Good, layoffs are usually straightforward for eligibility. Your main concern is just getting the right benefit amount calculated.

Update us when you find out your actual weekly amount! Would be interesting to see how close these estimates are.

What is eligible for unemployment in Washington - confused about requirements

I'm trying to figure out what qualifies you for unemployment benefits in Washington state. I worked full-time at a retail store for 8 months before getting laid off last week due to budget cuts. My friend said I might not qualify because I haven't worked long enough, but another coworker who got unemployment said 6 months was enough. I'm getting conflicting information online about work history requirements, wage amounts, and whether being laid off vs fired makes a difference. Can someone explain what actually makes you eligible for Washington ESD unemployment benefits? I really need to know before I waste time filing if I don't qualify.

The bottom line is that most people who worked steadily and got laid off will qualify for unemployment. The requirements aren't as strict as some people think, especially if you worked full-time for several months.

0 coins

That's reassuring! I was really worried I might not qualify and would be stuck without any income while job hunting.

0 coins

You should be fine based on what you described. Just file your claim and see what happens - you can always appeal if there are any issues.

0 coins

Good luck with your claim! The whole process can seem overwhelming at first but once you get started it's pretty straightforward. Just make sure to keep track of all your job search activities from day one.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful information! I feel much more confident about filing now.

Washington ESD unemployment claim - is this really a social issue affecting everyone?

I've been on unemployment for 2 months now and it's got me thinking - is unemployment really a social issue that affects our whole community? I mean, I see the job market struggling, people can't find work even when they want to, and Washington ESD is overwhelmed with claims. My neighbor lost her job at the same time I did, and we're both dealing with the same adjudication delays and weekly claim stress. It feels like this isn't just individual bad luck but something bigger happening to our whole area. Anyone else feeling like unemployment has become this huge social problem that we're all dealing with together?

Thanks everyone for the perspectives. It's clear that unemployment really is a social issue that affects entire communities, not just individuals. The shared experience of dealing with Washington ESD, the economic ripple effects, and the collective stress all show how interconnected this problem is.

What day does unemployment get deposited in Washington ESD weekly claims?

I just got approved for unemployment benefits and filed my first weekly claim on Sunday. When should I expect my payment to hit my account? I have direct deposit set up but Washington ESD didn't give me specific timing. Is there a regular schedule for when payments get deposited each week?

The only time my payment was really delayed was when there was a system update at Washington ESD. Took an extra 2 days that week but they sent notifications about it.

0 coins

Good to know they communicate about system issues. I'll watch for those notifications.

0 coins

i never got any notification about delays. maybe check your spam folder?

Bottom line: File Sunday, get paid Tuesday/Wednesday. It's been consistent for me over 6 months. Don't stress too much about the exact timing - it'll come.

Thanks everyone for all the info! This really helped calm my nerves about the payment schedule.

glad this thread helped! we've all been there with the first payment anxiety

Fired for insubordination - can I still collect Washington ESD unemployment benefits?

I got terminated from my warehouse job last month for what my supervisor called 'insubordination.' Basically I questioned a safety procedure that seemed dangerous and refused to follow it until we could get clarification from the safety manager. My boss said I was being disrespectful and fired me on the spot. I filed for unemployment right away but now I'm worried Washington ESD will deny my claim since I was fired for cause. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Do I have any chance of getting benefits approved?

The Claimyr service mentioned earlier really does work well. I was skeptical at first but it saved me so much time trying to reach Washington ESD. Worth checking out if you need to follow up on your adjudication status.

0 coins

I'm definitely going to try it. The regular phone system has been completely useless.

0 coins

Same experience here. Could never get through until I used their service. Made the whole process much less stressful.

0 coins

Last thought - even if this drags out for a while, don't give up. The system can be slow but it does work when you have legitimate reasons like safety concerns. Your case sounds much stronger than typical 'insubordination' situations.

0 coins

Thanks for the encouragement. It's easy to get discouraged but you're right - I need to stay focused on the facts and trust the process.
